Oso2 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) Hi - long time lurker here. I've noticed that a lot of local Granite dumps have the Hendrickson HMX 460 suspension. Which suspension would you choose if buying a new Mack - a Camelback or a Haulmaxx? The application is a general purpose dump truck (10-40% off road, 20+46 + a pusher axle)Which has superior:ride?traction?durability?weight?cost?This is all idle speculation at this point.

HK Trucking Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 For dump truck use, Mack Camelback is superior to any other suspension out there.. Quote "If You Can't Shift It Smoothly, You Shouldn't Be Driving It" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They claim less maintance and easy to replace pads but not very good off road performance. I like the Mack but thats all I have ever known.

Oso2 Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) How much does a camelback weigh? Is it a rougher ride than the Haulmaxx? Edited April 18, 2010 by ajoso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
